We have a puppy who has a golden retriever mum and Australian kelpie dad his absolutely Gorgeous golden and fluffy and looks more like his mum but I've been looking for weeks now to know does this breed have an actual name for it does anyone know? Please
He was sold as just a crossbreed between the two

A mongrel or cross breed?

It's not a breed, it's a crossbreed. A cute or silly name doesn't change that. And progeny of two dogs with entirely different purposes in life may well have personality problems.

It's not a breed.

NellBeau · 29/08/2022 12:01

As others have said, it doesn’t have a breed name because it’s not a breed it’s a crossbreed.

Yep, cross breed. No name that makes it worth more than its pedigree parents.

In Australia, it will be a kelpie cross. Everything else comes after that.

Like othets have said, it's a cross breed/mongrel.

However, if you want a cutsie name for him as per current trends then I'd imagine it would be a Golden Kelpie.

Gelpie?

Hoppinggreen · 01/09/2022 13:03

Well it’s a mongrel/crossbreed so make up whatever daft name you want
I bet he’s gorgeous though

lessthanathirdofanacre · 01/09/2022 13:54

Goldikelp? Kelpever? 😀

He sounds like a lovely crossbreed. Any chance of a picture?

Bobbins36 · 01/09/2022 13:57

Mongrel/crossbreed/mutt! But lovely all the same. Doesn’t have to have a name, it’s not a breed and that doesn’t matter!

Polkadotties · 01/09/2022 13:59

Mongrel. I wish this ridiculous notion of naming cross breeds never started

Lichensclerosus · 01/09/2022 14:40

I don't know how to post a picture

Mongrel, mutt or cross breed. No shame in it.
why does everything have to have a name now?

It's a cross breed, a mutt/mongrel would have more than 2 breeds in its genetics.

A cross breed is generally from two parents of specific breeds

A breed will go back generations and have a standard eg size, ear shape and coat colours
For example the golden retriever part of your pup was bred I think in 1868 by Lord tweedmouth and recognized as a breed in 1913 by the kennel club if I have my dates right

I'm sure it's a lovely pup, I have a cross breed myself with it's own daft nickname but prefer to say she's a cross I use the more obvious breed
